AuthorTopic: PPP and KPPP help (Read 2147 times)

I just installed V.L. 6.0 KDE and am trying to set up dial-up networking. I may have messed up here. I first went to vasm and set up PPP. Then, I went to my desktop and set up KPPP to dial out, and the modem dials and then tells me it's connecting, but then the modem drops the connection and redials, over and over, but never connects. Did I make a mistake by first setting up PPP? Will this interfere with KPPP use? If so, how do I undo the PPP setup? When I set up KPPP ( I did this before on other systems, Slackware-MEPIS,etc, but forget the exact details) so see if I have it right:I used the manual setup, not the Wizard. Dial>connection name>XXXXXAdd phone number: XXX-XXXXAuthentication: PAP (I also tried CHAP and PAP/CHAP) Is PAP the right one? None of them worked to sucessfully dial out. Store password: ...IP>Configuration>Dynamic IP addressGateway: Configuration>Default gatewayAssign the default route to this gateway.DNS: Domain name? I left this blank. Should I put something here?Configuration: automaticModems>NewDevice name: U.S. Robotics (Actiontek the first time)modem device: /dev/ttyS0Flow Control: Hardware [CRTSCTS]Line termination: CRConnection speed: 115200 I did not use the lock fileModem time out: 60 secModem>wait for dial tone before dialingBusy wait: 0 sec

OK,..I have Vector 6 KDE Classic up and running. I'm on KPPP and my dialup right now...All I did was to go to terminal,...and (as root) type in those two lines. touch /etc/resolv.conf <enter> touch /etc/ppp/options <enter>

Then I setup KPPP (added my ISP info,...modem info,..etc. etc.)

...and that was it !!!

EDIT: Hey,...I forgot how much fun Vector 6 KDE Classic is,....I'm off to go for a "drive" in it, around the web,.....
